Register here! As part of our Climate Change & Farming series, CISA is presenting a webinar on how urban farms can adapt their growing practices to increased and prolonged heat events. In partnership with UMASS Extension Urban Agriculture staff and featuring a panel of urban growers, the webinar will focus on how growing practices are […]
Register here! Join Lincoln Fishman from Momentum Ag to hear about the results of nearly 50 on-farm trials investigating clover living mulch. Crops ranged from small-scale organic vegetables to small grains to conventional silage corn. We'll discuss our current thoughts on best management practices for growing cash crops in clover living mulch. We will also look […]
Click here for more information. Climate Adaptation Planning is a useful tool to assess risks and identify strategies to increase resilience and mitigate the impacts of climate change. We'll be led through this session by Sean Hagan of the Maine Farmland Trust and Sara Keleman of American Farmland Trust to discuss the process of climate adaptation planning with a […]
